[s-cars] Best wiper blades?

[JShadzi at aol.com]

I like to step up from the whimpy "tripe-edge", "poser" blades...I go straight for the chrome plated, chartruse, triple BLADE baby!

Lemme chell ju som ting, there is SO much blade on the windshield there is no room left for the friggin water, plus the cool neon light insert option means I can see the water being bulldozed off the windshield, even at night!

I picked some up at the Pep Boys "performance counter" along with a set of neon tire valve caps, tripple gold zenith snap on mag wheel covers and a set of the trick bolt on plastic fake crossdrilled rotors that snap in behind the wheel, even put some in the back!

Ok, that's on the race car, on my commuter car I use the standard Bosch replacement blades, but that's cause they're more aerodynamic than the tripple bladers and every bit counts when your tryin' to get that MPG up.
